SPECTOR’S NOTE: NBC Sports’ Joe Yerdon offered up the best rebuttal: “So let’s see: Luongo plays at an elite level, one that isn’t good enough to some in Vancouver despite taking the Canucks to within one win of the Stanley Cup, loses his job to Schneider and sees the writing on the wall that he’s eventually the odd-man out and wants to get out of town and he’s the problem here? Tough to agree with any of that.”

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS: The Jets signed Brenden Kitchton, a late round draft pick who was top defenseman in the WHL last season, to a three-year entry-level contract.

Tony Gallagher is an idiot!!!! I live in BC, and I’m so sick of his stupidity. There was never an goaltender issue on the Canucks. It was fools in the media that tried to turn it into a circus to sell their articles, and he was the leader.
